2) $2000 a month for living for ALL AMERICANS including UNAUTHORIZED CITIZENS. NOW!
3) All banks must fork over 67% of all their greedy profits to WE THE PEOPLE that are DESERVING!
4) REPARATION NOW FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS!
5) Affirmative action policies will be MANDATORY for all business owners!
6) All cars and trucks MUST get at LEAST 40mpg or you will pay an annual pollution tax!

8) ALL educational places MUST include course work on the gay rights movement! ALL!
9) There is to be no RELIGION at school
10) Each person in the country is entitled to healthy food, shelter and certain type of entertainment! (internet/cable, etc)
This is the list I propose. Many might criticize me but i don't care.
I AM NO SELL OUT!
OCCUPY WALL STREET NOW.
LMAO, this is hilarious. thanks for the entertainment :) do i know you?
This just makes me laugh. However I shall attempt to reply to these demands as an Englishman, Texan and Born again Christian.
I am going to say that in part I agree, Native Americans should be allowed to return to their native lands and live peaceably with their European descended neighbors (would love to see a native american in the white house one day).
Well how about a short road to Chaos. The capitalistic economic model works because it promotes hard work and invention. You take away that drive by giving everyone free money you do two things 1. Take away that incentive to succeed and 2. inflate the price of everything to such a degree that you would need that $2000 just to buy a loaf of bread.
How do most banks make their profits? believe it or not it is not by people putting their money into the banks, instead banks make money by investing in idea's they see as profitable, hence wall st. You take that incentive away then we produce no more inventions because banks no longer have the desire to support something new as they will not make money from it.
Reparation from who exactly? History shows that most African Americans were sold to white slave traders by Africans....And though there were some who did abuse their slaves, in general a slave was well treated (after all it makes no sense to abuse a slave to death when you would then have to buy a new one, it was cheaper in the long run to keep them happy and healthy).
Affirmative action = Racism.
I would love this, just one problem. Unlike you I am unable to afford a new car, therefore I would have to pay the tax which would then make me even more unable to afford a new car in order to meet the new regulations. Of course if you like I would gladly allow you to pay fro a new car for me.............
ASPCA and other charities already do their best. Support them and more people will be prosecuted for needless cruelty to animals.
I am sorry, I have no desire to study the gay rights movement while I am studying to gain a degree in network security/aircraft engineering/anything that is not a social science. while yes the gay rights movement does need to be looked at in sociology classes, and even how it changed the face of america in a historical perspective, it should not have to be mandatory to be taught in all subjects.
Here I am 180 degrees opposite to you. I personally believe that ALL religions should be looked at in high school. Course work should include basic beliefs of each religion, pro's and con's of each religion, and so on. This does include a detailed look at the creation vs evolution debate in order that a child can make a fully informed choice as to what they wish to believe without condemnation or fear from anyone else. Anything less is to deny a person a choice.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. In other words you can give everyone access to fruits and vegetables, but they will probably still choose McDonalds simply because it is convenient. As to cable TV, thanks but no thanks, 300 channels of lazy idiot box junk. Though i will take the internet any time.
you sir are a right-thinking man in a world of P.C. insanity.
All of the people that America "took" land from are dead. Exhuming the bodies of dead Indians and Mexicans and dumping them into the middle of Texas and Oklahoma will solve no problems at all.
Are you really that incapable of providing for yourself? If you are, it's your own fault.
If you don't want to do business with banks and pay interest rates, then don't. They provide a service to the customer, the customer provides capital to the bank. Just like every other service industry.
All the slaves are dead. Why the hell do their ancestors need to be repaid? If their ancestors hadn't been brought here in the first place, they would be in Africa right now. Maybe Darfur. Or Kenya. Or Rwanda. Or any number of places where poverty, war, and slavery are the norm. The descendants of slaves are living in the country that has the highest standard of living in the world, bar none. (Note: I'm not in any way saying slavery was a good thing. I'm saying that the descendants of slaves have benefited from the suffering of their ancestors. Like it or not, we have all benefited from the suffering of our ancestors in one way or another.
Wether or not you get a job should be based on how hard you try and the qualifications you've earned, not the color of your skin.
That would put thousands of fire departments and EMS services out of business. I hope you don't plan on needing help when your house catches on fire or you have a stroke.
Why? Give me one good reason without sounding like a fool. I dare you.
Fine. As an ELECTIVE COURSE.
This has already happened.
Nobody is entitled to anything that they haven't earned.
You done got trolololololol'd

Aw shit. I got trolled.
troll thread
Fuck you you sellout bitch.
This list looks like it was written by a middle schooler on hemp. Childish and naive.
Corporate Free Speech There needs to be better corporate representation. Money is speech. Every individual, even individual stockholders, "ownership," has a right to free speech. Free speech means no one can force or prevent an individual's speech. Ownership has the right to direct the corporation's speech and political contributions. Majority control of contributions may violate an individual's free speech. Corporate management can speech for the corporation, but ownership needs to authorize that speech. No speech or money spent on political contributions may be made without ownership authorization and such contributions must be taken from the individual's dividends. No dividends means there is no allowance for contributions. Corporate management must poll the ownership to determine the amount and placement of all individual stockholder directed contributions. The assignment of all corporate contributions must be made public so that ownership can verify the correct placement of their contributions. Management can not make contributions on the behalf of nonresponsive ownership and thus can only make contributions for which they have been directly authorized.
Money is speech. Corporations are people, because people get the money. Free speech means people are not forced to pay for someone else's speech. Corporations may not force to pay or deny dividends, to a person who does not approve of money spent on speech. Corporations may only spend money on speech that is taken, by approval, from the people who get the money. Every person who gets money, from the corporation, must approve the money spent on speech, in order to protect the right to free speech. Since the money spent on speech is identifiable with a person then that money is subject to caps associated with that person and must be reported. Also, tax consequences flow, to each person, for tax exempt contributions. If the corporation feels that the cost of polling and reporting the money spent on speech is prohibitive, then the corporation is prohibited from spending on speech. Corporations spend money on product ads and any political placement in a product ad must have unanimous consent of ownership.
if you arent going to go all out to win the against robber barons the get off my thread and go vote for more milktoast democrats that wont stand up to these racist greedy wall street thugs.
I am sick and tired of being called a "troll" and whatever else. Look people ive been to more protests in my day than most of the young people there combined. i dont need the insults from people that werent there on the ground fighting these battles when i was. get over yourself and stop attackng me and hit the real bad guys where it hurts in there pocketbook!
"His spelling is atrocious, therefore signifying he must not be a HMFIC." /endtrollmockery
Although I completely oppose a few of these. one comment on note 6- I'm with you. but how can they charge us that tax if the U.S. won't allow a new 76 m.p.g diesel car in the borders? if they wanted, i believe we could be more then oil independent as a nation by now. too much focus on which renewable source is more efficient and not enough focus on developing an infrastructure for a couple sources that are renewable. BUT way to think radical and comprimise!!

Also, part B of the revolution: EVERYBODY EAT YOUR DAMNED VITAMINS.
Dude eat me. I've wanted a voice for a long time. Now I have one. Get off my thread.
there are surgeries that can correct that you know.
also, "finding a voice" is not the same as "finding capslock"
